Mobile Area Rugby Foundation
Relocates to the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley

The
Mobile Airport Authority Working With Rugby Foundation To Grow Their Community
Based Program & Facilities

August
12, 2016…Mobile, AL: The
Mobile Area Rugby Foundation has found a new home at the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley.
The Mobile Airport Authority (MAA) welcomes
the Rugby Foundation to their new temporary offices located at 1891 Ninth St,
Mobile, AL 36615. The Foundation’s
mission is to introduce, form, and build a competitive venue for rugby at all
levels in Mobile and Baldwin counties using a foundation-based approach that
will result in a sustainable model for continued rugby program development.

The
office serves as the base camp for the Rugby Foundations construction of a new facility
at the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley, which will serve as a practice facility for
the competitive organization and also the launching point for the Rugby
Foundation’s youth outreach programs.

"The
partnership with the Mobile Area Rugby Foundation is a true meeting of the
minds and missions. Rugby is very
popular with many of our international tenants and it is one more campus
amenity, ‘a ball club to call our own’, for our tenants to focus around. We
were most attracted to their commitment to youth programs in neighboring schools,
which is part of our holistic work force development approach. Rugby like many team sports reinforces many
of the critical soft skills required in the highly regulated and team oriented
aerospace industry. We could not be
happier with this newest partnership”, stated Roger Wehner, Executive Director.
